Pretty much ha. I don't mind so much people asking if I am flexible on price, I usually am if it still gets me what I want out of it.

It's the picture collectors that drive me nuts. If you want to come see the game in person and take all the time you need to go through it, that's how I know you're serious. I've spent too much of my time window shopping for people. If you want a close up of something or other, totally understandable, once you start asking for pictures of every connector...sorry, I'm out ha.

To answer the OP's question, I don't think you were in the wrong. Any serious buyer would have made a deposit or arrangements for a pick up time right away. Failing that, a simple "hey I have XYX commitments today let me give you a time tomorrow morning", etc.

"Right" or not in the eyes of the old school pinball ethics and honor code, unless I'm sure your coming I'm taking the sure thing every time.

I've never had "ask the wife" guy come back after "asking the wife". The mark of someone with genuine interest is someone who has already asked the wife and shows up with a vehicle that can move a game and cash. If you decide you don't want to buy a game after seeing it, fair enough, totally get that, but totally agree on this. Once you need to find a truck, see if another deal pans out, etc...that's fine, but don't expect anyone to wait on you.

Ha! I mean nothing wrong with discussing financial decisions amongst the family, but do that on your time before wasting mine is really all I ask.
